Can someone please help me work out the magic item market in Kintargo
Partly I am confused also by city stat blocks I assume
Can the group buy any items up to 4400 gp. And then the other items are random
That is my understanding but the confusing is:
- lots of minor items are under this limit
- so are several of the specific items mentioned in the Kintargo guide
So how does the magic item market work in the AP?
Basically, it doesn't impact anything until the PCs are high enough level for crafting to become pretty viable (beyond potions). They'll start to worry about it around book 3. There's also rebellion actions that allow you to reset the magic items in town.
Reset ? How often are they set in the first place ? Something in city rules somewhere ?
Since the city is under martial law, magic items are not for sale until they create the markets willing to disobey Thrune.
This is in my campaign.

Is that the intention of the AP writers though ?
Available items cycle out each month.
Items under the base value have a 75% chance of being available in a given month. Items worth 200 gp or less are always available, so players can always obtain cure light wounds potions. Items worth more than 4,400 gp are only available if they're listed (during the first month) or are the newly-rolled items (in later months).
All this is from page 72 of In Hell's Bright Shadow, in case you want a source or want to know where to look for more information!
What master4sword said.
With the clarification that the items listed in the Kintargo stat block, even when they're under 4,400 GP, are available without the 75% chance until those items are purchased or the market is reset (typically once per month). Not that all of the listed items in the marketplace sell at the same time, just that they each are sold within the month.
The 75% chance of items being available resets every week so if the PCs can't find something the first time they can look around again in a week or so.

Thanks. I knew I had read this a while ago but couldn’t remember the page reference
